The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) is another way that the Pakistani government helps families with low incomes. Beginning in June 2025, the 8171 website underwent significant changes to streamline, expedite, and simplify the payment process for recipients. If you’re already registered or want to register, here’s what you need to know about the changes, payment plans, and how to qualify for BISP help.
Latest Payment Update—June 2025
The government has initiated the June 2025 BISP payment cycle, disbursing an amount of PKR 13,500 in two phases. The first phase started on June 1, 2025, and covers most districts across Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan. The second phase encompasses areas such as Lahore and certain regions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
We advise beneficiaries to verify their payment status before visiting collection centers to prevent unnecessary travel or confusion.

We have changed the 8171 website to make it easier for people to use. It now supports more languages, such as Urdu, Sindhi, and Pashto.
